Jose Mourinho has been confirmed as the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs made the shock announcement on Tuesday night that they had parted ways with former manager Mauricio Pochettino and on Wednesday, Mourinho was confirmed as his successor.

"In Jose we have one of the most successful managers in football," Chairman Daniel Levy said in a statement. "He has a wealth of experience, can inspire teams and is a great tactician. He has won honours at every club he has coached. We believe he will bring energy and belief to the dressing room."

Mourinho, who was previously appointed by Manchester United before being sacked in December 2018, has signed a deal to keep him at the London club through the 2022-23 season.
